Erick Erickson updated SOLR-4318:
---------------------------------

    Attachment: SOLR-4318.patch

Hmmm, this is an invalid field definition, you have to have at least one 
tokenizer or your field doesn't do anything.

I can mask the error with a couple of trivial changes (see patch attached) but 
I don't think that's really a good fix. It seems we should (in order of my 
preference)

1> fail hard at startup and force a valid fieldType definition before 
continuing.
2> do nothing. I think this is a bad solution, violates the "fail early" 
policy, doesn't fail until someone happens to do a wildcard
3> put in a trivial fix (two places have to test for null like in the patch). I 
don't like this either, I'm sure Junaid's next question would be that results 
weren't as expected, everyone wastes time then.

Anyone want to weigh in?

> I have two fields, one is title and the other is description in my Solr 
> schema like -
> Type - <fieldType name="text" class="solr.TextField" 
> positionIncrementGap="100"/>
> Declaration - <field name="description" type="text" indexed="true" 
> stored="true"/>
> without any tokenizer or filter.
> On querying /select?q=description:myText it works. However when I add a '*'

> Failure scenario -
> /select?q=description:*
> /select?q=description:myText*
